Ok, well after all that I'm no closer.
I can bootstrap and configure and make and install and then when I run
'sudo -u couchdb couchdb' I get:
[

First, I may have screwed up setting the permissions for the couchdb
user. Second, you can see the exception relates to a missing function
ucol_strcollIter_4_2 which is part of ICU. Yes, it turns out CentOS's
repositories did no better at getting the right version of icu (4.2.1)
installed though I'm glad to be using it over RHN. I don't even know
what question to ask next...
